Installation steps 1. Measure the finished opening width at the bottom and at the top (at the model height: 58 for tub or 76 for shower). Use these dimensions as W in step #2. Also check the threshold for level and the walls for plumb. See Fig 1 for details Fig 1 6
2. Using a miter saw or hacksaw, cut the Upper Guide Rail (#02) 1/16 shorter than the top dimension W from step #1. (W - 1/16 = finished cut length L) ( see Fig 2a) The Bottom Guide Rail (#15) needs to be cut equally from both ends to keep the center guide holes centered. (The Bottom Guide Rail (#15) has been precut for the model size. See Table A). Using a miter saw or hack saw, cut the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) 3/4 shorter than the bottom dimension W from step #1. (W - 3/4 = finished cut length L) (see Fig 2b) See Fig 2a & 2b for details L Upper Guide Rail (#02) W (finished opening) - 1/16 = L (finished cut length) W-1/16 (1.5mm) Note: The Bottom guide rail (#15) needs to be shorter than the Upper guide rail (#02) because it fits between the wall profiles, while the upper guide rail fits wall-to-wall. Fig 2a Table A Model Size Precut Bo om Rail Length 60 x 76 59-3/8 (1508mm) 48 x 76 47-3/8 (1203mm) 54 x 76 53-3/8 (1356mm) 60 x 58 59-3/8 (1508mm) EQ Bottom Guide Rail (#15) W (finished opening) - 3/4 = L (finished cut length) FOR EXAMPLE: If the finished opening W = 59, then 59-3/4 = 58-1/4 finished cut length L will be 58-1/4. (The Bottom rail length for the 60 model = 59-3/8-58-1/4 = 1-1/8 1-1/8 divided by 2 = 9/16 Cut 9/16 off from each end to a finished cut length of 58-1/4 ). Note that this is only an example and the actual cut-off amount will vary based on the actual finished opening dimension. L W-3/4 (18mm) EQ W= finished opening width 3/8 (9mm) center bottom guide 3/8 (9mm) Finished cut length L Fig 2b 7
3. Place the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) onto the threshold in the desired position. Use a tape measure to align it evenly with the front edge of the threshold and mark its position on the threshold. TIP: Use the left and right Wall profiles (#01) to center the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) on the threshold to maintain the proper spacing from the walls. See Fig 3 for details Fig 3 8
4. Attach the Upper guide rail connectors (#07) to the top of both Wall Profiles (#01) using the ST4.2 x 30 Truss head screws(#13). (Fig 4a) Position one Wall Profile (#01) against the wall onto the Bottom Guide Rail (#15). Check for plumb with a level and mark the position. Mark both holes in the Upper Guide Rail Connector (#07) for drilling. (Fig 4b). Remove the wall profile and drill Ø 5/16 holes and insert the Wall anchors (#09). See Fig 4a and 4b for details TIP: Add a few drops of dish soap to the screws to make installation easier. Fig 4a 1 2 3 Ø5/16 (8mm) Fig 4b 9

Product Maintenance BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface. GLASS: To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface. HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces. NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect the glass and other hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or damage.
